Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and arrangement in connection with a pipe connection, a clamping ring for a pipe connection, and a pipe connection.
- a clamping ring made of elastic material which may be the same plastic material as that from which the pipe is made, is expanded and shrunk over the pipe end, in order to further enhance the holding and sealing pressure at the pipe connection region.
- the clamping ring is expanded at the same time as the pipe-end is expanded, with the clamping ring in position around said pipe-end.
- Such a solution has been disclosed for example in EP 0530387.
- the clamping ring has been made from an extruded pipe by cutting the pipe into a short enough part to form a clamping ring.
- the pipe connection comprises a connection piece, a pipe and a clamping ring.
- the pipe and the clamping ring are made of a material having memory properties, wherein an end of the pipe and the clamping ring have been reversibly expanded co-jointly and firmly and sealingly shrunk to the connecting piece by back shrinkage.
- the connection piece comprises a nipple end.
- the clamping ring is formed such that it is used for protecting the nipple end of the connecting piece.
- the clamping ring is slipped over the nipple end during storage and transportation before the pipe connection is made. Thus the clamping ring protects the nipple end from being damaged during storage and transportation.
- the clamping ring is made from a cross-linked polyolefin by injection molding.
- injection molding it is possible to optimize the properties of the clamping ring for each pipe connection. For example the wall thicknesses and the design of the clamping ring can be made as per need. It is also possible to make markings into the clamping ring to give information on the clamping ring to an end user.
- the clamping ring is formed such that the total length of a weld line / weld lines in the radial direction in the injection molded clamping ring is larger than an average wall thickness of the damping ring.
- the clamping ring is for example formed such that at a point where the weld line resides, the wall thickness is larger than the average wall thickness.
- Another possibility to increase the total length of the weld lines is to provide an injection molding mold into which the material is fed from two or more injection gates, such that the clamping ring comprises two or more weld lines. Also in this connection all the weld lines may be positioned such that they are formed at a position where the wall thickness is larger than the average wall thickness.
- the weld line is the weakest spot of an injection molded particle that is made from a cross-linked polyethylene.
- the strength of the clamping ring is increased.
- the risk for cracks in the weld line during an expansion procedure is minimized.
- one end of the clamping ring is provided with a stop edge. This stop edge ensures that the clamping ring remains positioned at a correct position on the pipe-end when the pipe connection is being made and after the pipe connection has been made.
- Figure 1 schematically shows a cross-sectional side view of a pipe connection
- Figure 2 schematically shows a cross-sectional end view of a clamping ring
- Figure 3 shows an end view of the clamping ring as seen from an end other than that in Figure 2,
- Figure 4 schematically shows a cross-sectional side view of a clamping ring
- Figure 5 schematically shows a cross-sectional side view of another clamping ring.
- Figure 1 shows a pipe 1 , which is comprised of a plastic material having memory properties, for instance a cross-linked polyethylene PEX or any other cross-linked polyolefin, and a connecting piece 2 made of metal.
- the connecting piece 2 comprises a nipple end 3.
- the nipple end 3 comprises radially projecting flanges 4.
- the nipple end 3 is terminated with a radial abutment surface ⁇ .
- the nipple end 3 has an outer diameter which exceeds the inner diameter of the unexpanded pipe 1.
- An elastic clamping ring 6 is mounted on an end of the pipe 1. In its relaxed state, the clamping ring 6 has an inner diameter which corresponds to the outer diameter of the unexpanded pipe 1.
- the inner surface of the clamping ring 6 is conical as shown in Figure 4.
- This feature enables the clamping ring 6 to be positioned on the end of the pipe 1 with a tight fitting.
- the conical shape it is easy to position the clamping ring on the end of the pipe 1 and further, because of the conical shape, the inner surface of the clamping ring 6 presses against the outer surface of the pipe 1 and the clamping ring 6 remains with a tight fitting on the end of the pipe 1.
- the coning angle ⁇ of the inner surface of the clamping ring 6 can be in the range of O 1 1° to 2°, for example.
- the inner surface of the clamping ring 6 can be made conical also such that first at the outer end of the clamping ring 6 there is a first larger coning angle ⁇ and thereafter a second smaller coning angle ⁇ as shown in Figure 5.
- the first larger coning angle ⁇ provides the advantage that the positioning of the clamping ring on the end of the pipe 1 is extremely easy. Because of the second smaller coning angle ⁇ the clamping ring 6 remains with a tight fitting on the end of the pipe 1.
- the first coning angle ⁇ can be in the range of 3° to 7° and the second coning angle ⁇ can be in the range of 0,1° to 2°, for exam- pie.
- Figure 2 shows a cross-section of the clamping ring.
- the material is fed into a mold.
- the clamping ring shown in Figure 2 is made such that the mold comprises two injection gates.
- the material is fed into the mold from each sides of the mold, which in Figure 2 is depicted with arrows.
- the two material flows flow into the mold and they come into contact with each other. Therefore, a weld line 7 is formed at a point where the material flows unite.
- two weld lines 7 exist in the clamping ring. If the material is fed from only one injection gate, the weld line 7 is formed substantially on the opposite side of the injection gate. Typically, no weld lines 7 can be seen in an injection molded object, but in Figure 2 the weld lines 7 have been indicated with narrow lines.
- a weld line is the weakest spot of an injection molded ring, especially when the ring is made from a cross-linked polyolefin.
- the total length of the weld line 7 in the radial direction is made larger than the average wall thickness of the clamping ring 6.
- the total length of the weld lines can be made larger for example by using more than one injection gate, such that the ring comprises two or more weld lines 7.
- the weld line can be made longer such that the wall thickness of the clamping ring is made larger at a position where the weld line resides.
- the wall thickness at the weld line can be made larger, as is also shown in Figure 2.
- the thicker wall at the weld line strengthens the clamping ring.
- the diameter of the clamping ring may vary e.g. between 15 to 50 mm.
- the length of the clamping ring 6 may be e.g. substantially equal to the diameter of the clamping ring.
- the length of the clamping ring may also be dimensioned such that it is substantially equal to the length of the nipple end 3 of the connecting piece 2.
- An average wall thickness of the clamping ring may vary e.g. between 2 to 6 mm.
- the wall thickness of the clamping ring determines the contraction force of the clamping ring.
- the wall thickness of the clamping ring is dimensioned such that the contraction force is sufficient. If the wall is made thicker at the weld line 7, the wall may be e.g. 0.3 to 2 mm thicker than the average wall thickness.
- the clamping ring 6 is made from a cross-linked polyolefin.
- the clamping ring may be made e.g. of a cross-finked polyethylene PEX or cross- linked polypropyien.
- the clamping ring 6 is made from a PEX-B material, i.e. a silane PEX.
- a PEX-B material is advantageous in connection with injection molding.
- the stop edge ⁇ ensures that the end of the pipe 1 is at a correct position with respect to the clamping ring 6.
- the stop edge 8 extends inwards.
- the stop edge 8 comprises inward extending protrusions 9, which are also seen in Figure 3.
- the protrusions 9 ensure that the pipe 1 stops at a correct position with respect to the clamping ring 6. Further, the protrusions 9 are made high enough for the clamping ring to be used for protecting the nipple end 3 of the connecting piece before the pipe connection is made.
- the inner diameter of the clamping ring, when the clamping ring 6 is in its original form and shape, is larger than the outer diameter of the nipple end 3.
- the protrusions are high enough to extend to a circumference that is smaller than the outer diameter of the flanges 4 of the nipple end 3.
- the clamping ring 6 can be snapped on the nipple end 3, such that the protrusions 9 and the flange 4 hold the clamping ring 6 on the nipple end 3.
- the clamping ring 6 protects the nipple end from being damaged, which could cause leakage problems.
- the nipple end is not damaged.
- the means for holding the clamping ring 6 on the nipple end 3 can be a radially inward protruding ring which has been made thin enough such that it yields when the clamping ring 6 is snapped on the nipple end 3, for example.
- the clamping ring can be made from an extruded pipe by cutting the pipe in to a short enough part to form a clamping ring, for example. After cutting, the appropriate protrusions and other needed forms can be formed to the clamping ring by thermoforming, for example.
- the clamping ring may e.g. comprise a hole, through which it can be detected whether the pipe is pushed correctly inside the clamping ring 6.
